If you mean GH4 to Lumix GH4, it is nice camera with right controls. I have not used it but going by its specs and few pix at flickr. I can see it is stock ready camera.

Tried it at a store. It's even snappier than my X-T1. Donno about the quality though.. but any modern camera will mostly do fine at low iso.

it's not the camera and expensive equipment, it's the photographer.
as Ansel Adams, certainly not a stock photographers, said in his seminars all the time during his time on this earth, there are no good or bad photographs, just good or bad photographers.

i still see Matthew Brady and other younger peers of Brady who used fully manual view camera (no digital, not even auto flash in those days), and even Speed Grafiks users, and today students with K1000 pentaxes
that produce amazing photographs. atst, i see a lot of expensive cameras and big bazookas costing more than your car, that produce some of the scariest baddest (as in bad photographers)... how  many? many !!!

the best equipment for you is the one you master. it can even be a PNS. just don't tell the reviewers you used that. empty the EXIFs and when asked, say, "oh, only the most expensive and the latest gadget for me, nothing else !" ;D

I don't believe that the OP was asking how saleable his photos would be, but rather would photos from the GH4 pass technical inspection.
